FEATURING ARTIST:
ATHLONE CLARKE
LOS ANGELES
Deeply Rooted is a celebration of freedom. An emancipation that transcends any physical shackles. It is a culmination of creatives as we praise and pay homage to our ancestors. Commencing on June 16th and in honor of Juneteenth, this three day event will shine a bright light on Black Excellence as art | Melanated’s founders Sol and Jennia Aponte present the breathtaking art works of Athlone Clark.
“We saw A LOT of art at Art Basel last year, and Athlone's work was by far the most powerful. There is an undeniable energy emitting from each piece. We are honored to showcase him in Los Angeles for the first time.”- Sol & Jennia Aponte

Professor Speck, Collector of All Things Mystical
“The people who collect my work tend to be deep thinkers, and have transcended beyond color swatches, and matching décor. They are not necessarily looking for something safe and scripted that the neighbor might have, but rather a work of art that is capable of challenging the mind in very unconventional ways. My goal is to create work that will be just as relevant in the year twenty-one hundred and fifty-six, as it is today.” - Athlone Clarke
